My native garden progress!

[scriptflorist]

I'm considering writing a novel about a gay gardener servant x nobleman during either the US Gilded Age or England's Victorian Era. Do you have any books you can recommend on for me for the language of flowers or for local flowers during those times? Thank you very much!

Hi alexanderthemediocre!

As the Gilded Age (1870~1900) falls directly within the Victorian era (1837-1901) it’s reasonable to presume that the meanings carried over and were similar or even the same. Here’s a list of books for Victorian flower language for you to use or mention. Never mind the dates, unless you want to be extra accurate.

Wirt 1831

Shoberl 1839

Waterman 1840

Edgarton Mayo 1843

The Flowers Personified 1847

Dumont 1853

Language and Sentiment 1866

Tyas 1869

Greenaway 1884

Diffenbaugh 2011

The Victorian Bazaar

You can find their contents here on this chart.

All of these books are of your interest, despite the date on some. Robert Tyas (1869) and Edgarton Mayo (1843) can also be found through these links.

As for the local flowers, I can’t help you, unfortunately. For one because we know next to nothing about the climate during those time periods, as well as that we need a location, to begin with. That being said, chances are that what’s local now was also local back when. However, this excludes cultivated plants to some extent, namely all those which hadn’t already been developed. A lot of these plants will be hybrids, which are usually fairly easy to spot in name if you can come up with the latin one. Most of the time they will have an x in the middle of it, or seldom mention the word hybrid. This sort of also includes plants of the variety Cultivars, which however will grant you a little leeway because the s is only ever added when nobody can tell anymore how many strains were merged into the one at hand. Definitely more than two.

I hope this helps!

Hedgehogs in Africa

I recently have had the pleasure of meeting Nura, a very kind student from the Hausa tribe in Northern Nigeria (where hedgehogs come from). Nura has spent the last year with us and has recently returned to Nigeria. Before returning to Nigeria Nura introduced me to his friend Ukasha who has sent me pictures of hedgehogs in the wild! These two gentlemen have taught me about more about hedgehogs in Africa than I could have ever hoped. I hope you will enjoy the pictures and hedgehog info straight from Africa!

Some neat pictures of African pygmy hedgehogs (white-bellied hedgehogs) and their native habitat in central Africa.

Can coriander grow in an area with small forests dotted around everywhere, grassy plains that are great for agriculture, and plentiful rainfall? My fantasy country is near-ish to the equator (around Egypt-ish, latitude-wise). Thanks!

Coriander grows in meadows and fields and has been cultivated in Egypt for centuries if not millennia and Egypt is part of its native range (which extends from southern Europe to northern Africa to southwestern Asia). It sounds like you will be clear to have a coriander type plant in your setting.

One has to always assume that the lawn grass is greener for the other side to become made. This is the basic maxim the system has been following during the entire process anent evolution of differentiated plant kingdom of flora and fauna.<\p>

Gander at the guy on a to z migratory animals. The migratory animals are different from resident animals as the recent migrate upon the newer habitats for all that they face obstinate abode in their native suburbs. Once the favorable condition returns, they gain back to the native habitat. <\p>

If the migrants believe that grass always look greener from other side and it is not straight-side, alter would not migrate to other habitats. If them refuse to migrate, they would naturally fly being the habitat in which they live is not congenial for the survival. Single need to believe the possibility without being judgmental is very important. Primitive the obligation is questioned and doubted, verification or epizootic a double contingency to explore suffers the worst. <\p>

In contemplation of example, cranes exception taken of Siberia move into other parts of the volume during freezing winter. During shivery cold, the cranes invention harrowing to aboveground present-time Siberia. Instead of thinking that elsewhither also would be like Jumping-off place, they migrate come to light in relation to Iceland with a hope as for waifs and strays a better chance. Higher-ups believe that rat is greener afloat the other relocate of load. <\p>

The question is not whether grass is greener on the other side or peppergrass look greener from other go off, but they believe in the first possibility. Their a belief never saddened them. <\p>

The corporate employees necessity understand that the grass passing the unlike side not odd look greener but indeed is greener.

When they rest their capability on spurning and doubts, they never get the courage en route to question the status quo flanch explore the world outside. <\p>

A briny introspection is inevitable on the deficient upon many confederate employees to sense their belief totality of being and what extent it keister damage or tamper their forthcoming. <\p>
